> What are the use cases for overlapping groups of servers? I don't remember, if I had to guess it was just maximum flexibility. Thinking about this further, we might not need to support multiple groups per server. When configuring the HostRegexTableLoadBalancer (see [test](https://github.com/apache/accumulo/blob/main/core/src/test/java/org/apache/accumulo/core/spi/balancer/HostRegexTableLoadBalancerTest.java#L205)), the user maps a table directly to a regex that maps to hosts. Assigning a group name to a TabletServer provides a level of indirection. For example: * There could be a set of TabletServers that use the group `meta` to host the metadata table * There could be a set of TabletServers that use the group `appA` to host the tables used by application A * There could be a set of TabletServers that use the group `appsBC` to host the tables used by applications B & C -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
